I speak 3 confidently, on the path to 5. If the intent is to simply glean information from a native speaker, I'm currently at 7.
It isn't. Americans and some anglophones think that's the case because they're lazy and look for excuses.
That's complete bullshit. You do know that kids in most of the world grow up learning between 2 and 3 languages in school and that doesn't impair their native language at all, right?
I’ve replied to your other message with the info that you’re looking for.
Many people speak multiple languages but it’s a choice that parents make for their offspring and some make a different choice.
Some also see other languages as more important and I know in America it’s not uncommon for deaf people to speak ASL and LSM if they come from a Hispanic community.
